About Deborah Gaudet

Deborah Gaudet is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who brings a hopeful and realistic style to therapeutic work, blending depth-oriented and practical approaches. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University, and practices from the mountains of Northern New Mexico. Her work is client-focused and client-directed, combining Jungian-informed perspectives with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people move through persistent difficulties.

Deborah supports individuals navigating trauma recovery, addiction recovery, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, PTSD, loneliness, and demanding life stages such as overwhelming parenting or caregiving stress. She emphasizes the role of emotion and lived psychological experience as catalysts for change, especially when patterns have felt stuck for years or decades. Her manner is friendly, thorough, and pragmatic, oriented toward practical steps as well as deeper transformation.

She holds a firm belief in lifelong growth and development, viewing each age and stage as offering both challenge and meaning. While she centers the individual therapeutic encounter, Deborah also attends to systemic forces such as income inequality and inequalities based on sex and racialization that shape experience and influence healing. Her practice combines clinical rigor with a compassionate, hopeful perspective to support clients in making meaningful shifts.

Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, and CBT Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps clients understand how early bonds influence current connection, trust, and intimacy. It is useful for people working through abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth; it helps people gain clarity, self-worth, and direction by centering their experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address stress-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Deborah Gaudet works with clients to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting strategies over time rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from their own location, and maintain continuity of care across distances. For many clients, these options increase accessibility and make it easier to engage consistently with a licensed professional who can guide change and growth.
